To all whom it may concern.'

Be itlrnown that l, FREDERICK W. Nourri, of the city of Victoria, county oVictoia,

- Province ofBritish Columbia, Canada, have invented certain new and useful improve ments 'in Eyeglass-Mountings, ot which the following is specification.

This invention relates to eye glass mount ings ot the type in which the nose guards are mounted on levers pivoted on the bridge ends and provided with forwardly projecting iinger grips, and my object is to provide in such a mounting a combination spring and pivot for each nose guard lever which will be very simple, cheap, effective and durable l attain my object by forming the nose guard lever and bridge end at each Side the one to embrace the other and by forming in the said parts slots lying at an angle to one another.V A bent spring with two arms normally tending te spring apart nas its arms passed through said slot. .The turning of lthe nose guard lever to bring the slots in underside of the'parts shown in Fig. 2; Fig.

e is a front elevation showing part of the bridge witha lens secured in position.

in the drawings like numerals oi' reierence indicate corresponding parts in the dierent figures.

l is the bridge provided with laterally eX- tended ends 2.

3 is a nose guard lever, one'end of which has the nose guard Il formed on or secured thereon, and the other end a linger grip 5.

The bridge end and the nose guard are shaped the one to embrace the other. Preferably the nose guard is doubled as shown to embrace the bridge end which is suitably flattened. in one part of the lever end-iis formed a slot 6 and a similar slot 7 is formed .in the bridge end. These slots, when the mounting is not in place on the nose, lie at an angle to one another. 'The other part of the nose guard lever -has an' opening 8 formed therein, which is preferably circular in shape as shown, though it might be formed as a duplicate of the slot 6.

9 is a spring which is formed of spring wire bent to form two arms which have a tendency to spring apart. To increase the resiliency, one or more coils are formed in the spring at the bend. The arms of the spring are passed through the slots 6 and 7 and the opening 8, the coil .10 lying close to the nose guard lever. The endsof the springs are vpreferably slightly bent outwardly to prevent any accidental displacement 01"' the spring after ithas been placed position. lt is evidentA that if the nose guard lever be rocked on the bridgeend that the action of the two slots on the arms of the spring tends to force the said arms together, and their resistance to this bending provides the spring tension for the nose guard lever.

eliminates' drilling, tapping or other Ene' work, so that an elicient mount is obtainedV at the minimum of .manufacturing cost.

1What l claim 'as my invention is etv I475 The spring also serves as a pivot for the nose 1. In an eye glass mounting the combina- A tion of a bridge having a laterally extended end; a nose guard lever, the bridge end and lever being shaped the one to embrace the other and having each a slot formed therein,

the slot in one being at an angle to the slot in the other; and a spring bent to .form two arms passing through 4said slots.

2. in an eye 'glass mounting the combinatio-n of a bridge having a laterally extended end.; a nose guardlever'shaped to embrace the bridge end, the bridge end and leverv having each a slot formed therein, the slot im www@ in one being :et azi-tgl@ the slot iu the other; and a, spring bsnt to form two alims' passing through said slots.

3f 'lin an eye glass mounting the combina,- tion of abridg having a laterally extended end with a slot omed therein; a nos@ guard lever shaped to embrace the bridge end and having a slot formed them-zin at. on@ side at an angle to the slot in the biidge @11d a 1 round opening in tha other; and L spring 10 bent to form two arms passing through said slots.
